XMLDateTime (Stardog-10.0.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.stardog.stark.XMLDateTime

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<XMLDateTime>
```
public final class XMLDateTime
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<XMLDateTime>
```
This class provides utility functions for comparisons operating on xml:dateTime datatypes as specified in W3C, XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition Known deviations from the standard: - the range of years in this implementation is limited to Integer.MIN_VALUE to Integer.MAX_VALUE for practical reasons - this implementation accepts some dates that have impossible month, day-of-month combinations (such as 2005-02-29, which was not a leap year)
